A long wait before eating the Apple
I hope that these rumors will be confirmed next week since I am waiting to buy a Mac laptop and an iPod mini. This is all quite expensive, but I am ready to make an effort and spend that money for such exceptional devices. Sadly, people have not been that generous to make donations for my work on IzPack. Their donations could help me performing this purchase that I have been planning for about a year (I don't get a lot of money as a PhD student). I save them a lot of money by having given a lot of time and energy to the project. The few donators have all my gratitude for their kind support, but I am very disapointed by the companies that use IzPack but do not consider making a donation. Of course now I am not the only one commiting enhancements to the project but I am still the one managing the whole thing and making QA and the release engineering duties. Not even counting the efforts to make IzPack beeing better known by the Java community. I hope that with the release of 3.7.0 people will take another look at it and give a small reward. I understand that individuals often can't afford that, but I can hardly imagine that companies can't...
